I'm looking to get some stainless nerf bars for the 05, and wanted to know if anybody used these or bought from this seller. I like the look of the 4" ovals. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Never heard of them before so check his feedback. The bars look very nice and I love the look of the straight ends.

I can't look at that Ebay listing here at work (dang internet blockers!), but I got these Nasta stainless bars from here:

http://www.runningboardwarehouse.com...ROD&ProdID=168

I paid like $299 delivered to my door. They mount up real easy and all the components are stainless steel. I had them mounted on the truck in about 1.5 hours and about 30 minutes of that was dragging out tools and putting them away. No drilling either.

 

Their feedback looks good so I wouldn't have any qualms about buying from them. They seem to sell a bunch of product and their relativly few complaints seem to revolve around shipping issues, which I would expect a problem here and there with the larger items like Nerf bars. I'd go for it.

 

my uncle bought a set of round ones of ebay for his 05 and he likes them. i bought a set off ebay for my 99 1500 and i liked them.

 

nice steps , i purchased a full length set off ebay chrome , they are great and only 169 or 179 .

 

look over on the tdr...there is a never ending thread on the 129.00 e-bay nerfs.45.oo shipping........all you could want to know about them there.............bama

 

Thanks guys for all the comments! I'm getting my windows tinted and exhaust done, so these will be on the back burner for a few weeks. After reading the seller's feedback, I think these will be the ones I'll get. Thanks alot guys!

Nice! Get 'em

Nick, i put those exact nerf bars (purchased off ebay) on my 06 as well as my wifes 05 F-150 and love them, they are very good quality and reasonable price. Easy install too.

 

honda_guy4,
Thanks for the comments! Do you have any pics? I'm going to order these in a few weeks.

Thanks,
Nick

 

I ordered a pair of them yesterday - I'll post pictures as well once I get them mounted (it could be weeks the way it's raining here).

 

my brother installed those exact bars today,great product good price only complaint was the bracketry was a little chincy but they will do their job.

 

Well I got them on the truck ... the brackets are certainly chincy ... so is the hardware. The big, bright, silver bolts stick out like a sore thumb. I'm going to head over to good ol' Tacoma Screw to see if I can get some less obvious hardware.

The boards are a little too close to the cab (both up and in), but they're better than nothing. My only other complaint is the cab is making some racket ... I didn't lock-tite the bolts that replace the body isolator bolts, so that's my next step.

Hmmm ... maybe I can sell a kidney or something to get those AMP Research steps.

 

Need a little help here - these bars a squeeking like you wouldn't believe. Does anyone know what torque spec the bolts are supposed to be? I cranked them to 81 n.m, the factory spec, but they are back to squeeking again. Is there a trick? I threw out the provided instructions ... maybe they had a higher spec, but I'm afraid to go overboard.

Thanks!
